Plumbing Apprenticeship

[OZ_Pomy]

Hey all

Not sure if i should post this in this section but i figured im in SA so this mite be the rite place? For the last few months i have been trying to find an Adult Plumbing Apprenticeship (maintenance plumbing) but am having a hard time getting one. I have done 2 lots of work experience ( a week each time) which was a complete waste of my time and am now running out of ideas of where to look. So in saying that i thought id give SAU a try and see if any fellow members could help me out =). I know there must be at least one plumber on hear or some one that knows some one that may be able to help me get an apprenticeship. So please if you can help me in any way i would appreciate it. Oh and this could lead to a carton of beer in return if i get one

Cheers Allan

haha madaz funny as and yeah i have been signed up with taps since about February with no luck i did a weeks work experience through them and got a good reference but no apprenticeship . I also tryed Peer but they were not much help either.... Thanks for the speedy replies

go onto seek and type in plumbing. ring around for people looking for plumbers, tell them you are interested in working for them. ask them where they source their apprentices from. if your lucky, instead of going through a training scheme, they may take you on themselves. it cant hurt to ask, and you may get lucky.

good luck
